[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 239815, member: 216"] We've run some rocket toss passes, and some option reverse passes. I remember Roddy trying one, but it wasn't open and he did VERY well to get back to the LOS. I remember a reverse pass from Bay Bay to Lucas Cox as the first play against Miami in '08 - wide open, big play. I remember a reverse pass against Ugag where Stephen Hill was wide open but we got a very poor throw from a highly pressured WR (can't remember who it was), and I want to say it was picked off. But, I like plays like this, not as much because of the result of the play itself, but because it gets the defenders thinking more instead of having their one track minds on reading and reacting to their keys. I also think the rocket toss pass could/should be deadly. Our OL would block it the same way regardless because they're not going down field but laterally down the LOS. If a team is firing up hard from the S and CB on those plays, it should be a wide open opportunity. It would totally require an AB who is a very capable thrower under pressure (and on the run), and it would help if that AB were also one of our best AB-run threats, so that the defenders' first thought when he gets the ball is "Oh crap, gotta go tackle that guy". We should have opportunities for this though with all of the converted QB's on our roster through the years. [/QUOTE]
